EGS 01 CONTROL
Efficiency, performance, and emissions
are factors that play a key role in gas
engine development. As engine
performance improves, the need for a
more accurate and flexible metering
system such as an electronic control
system is a logical step.
The EGS 01 is a state-of-the-art control
module for stationary gas engines. It can
be used to control the gas flow in relation
to the air flow of an engine, at any load
and speed condition.
The EGS 01 control is capable of keeping
gas engine emissions constant over a
longer period of time.
And the EGS control is not sensitive to the
quality of the gas or the gas pressure and
temperature. This is accomplished by the
patented gas quality closed loop (lean
burn) algorithm and lambda sensor after-
catalyst (lambda=1).
The EGS 01 control can be applied on
in-line and V-type engines of any power
output, naturally aspirated or
turbocharged.
The control can be easily programmed
with the EGS monitoring program, and it
covers the wide range of gas qualities,
from landfill gas to propane.
Even a significant change in gas quality
during normal operation of the engine will
be compensated for by the control.

engines with three way catalyst to
keep the A/F (air/fuel) ratio within a protection
narrow band. In this band, the three-
way catalyst reaches its optimum in
oxidizing and reducing the CO, HC,
and Nox emissions. A sensor after-
catalyst will optimize the long term
performance significantly.
*—Mono control means one gas flow
calculation per engine. Stereo control
means two gas flow calculations, one for
each separate bank of a V-engine.
• Gas quality closed loop system only in mono
control. This system has mainly been designed to
be applied on generator sets where a kW-signal
normally is available. However, a torque-signal
also can be applied. Without a torque sensor, a
gas-engine-driven compressor cannot be
controlled by the system in the Gas Quality Closed
Loop mode.
• Dual fuel system only in mono control. The dual
fuel system is meant for applications where an
engine has to run on a variable mix of two gasses.
(This function is not available in version 3.00.)
• Woodward will configure the EGS control to one of
these system types which is suitable for your
application.
For EGS systems produced with speed control, an
extra hardware print has to be implemented in the EGS
control.
BENEFITS OF THE EGS
• Improves engine stability, performance, and
efficiency.
• Gas quality closed loop system with EGS/TecJet™
applicable on every generator set, resulting in low
emissions without the use of oxygen sensors.
• Reduction of costs due to user friendly system for
commissioning, diagnostics, and monitoring.
• Reduced number of parts. One venturi fits all
applications and gas compositions.
• Control software, sensors, and the control module
will always be the same. Only the size of the
actuator is related to the engine output.
EGS Monitoring Program
• Control range unlimited because the TecJet unit
controls the total gas flow. Naturally there is a limit
to the maximum possible gas flow.
APPLICATION
The EGS 01 control is applicable for stationary gas
engines which operate in island mode or in parallel
with the utility. The EGS control always works in
combination with one or more TecJet controls. In
general, the EGS calculates the desired gas flow from
the different engine and gas parameters. This gas flow
is transmitted through a CAN link to the TecJet
control(s). The TecJet control ensures that proper gas
flow is maintained, regardless of gas pressure and
temperature.
The EGS 01 control can be used for:
• Single speed and variable speed engines
• Mono fuel, dual fuel, and variable fuel
• Mono control or stereo control on V-engines
• Engine protection, emissions control, and
speed/load control
• ‘V’ and/or inline, 4-cylinder engine types
ADJUSTMENTS
All monitoring and adjustments can be made quickly
and easily via a laptop or PC connected to the EGS
control. With EGS monitoring software installed, seven
menus are available. Through these menus the user
can perform all settings, authorization, commissioning,
logging, overview of malfunctions, and so on.
